The next stage of the Internet has been lurking around the corner for a long time and referred to as the “semantic web”. The concepts behind the semantic web are purported to have been in Tim Berners-Lee’s original intention for the Internet over 15 years ago. I suspect that means they were academically interesting, but technically impractical at the time. While I am certainly not qualified to predict exactly when this vision of the semantic web will be fulfilled as a technical reality, I can tell you about it’s enormous potential.
